Build in operators between string and char.

 * Functions are now allowed to have `Dynamic` arguments.
 * `#[rhai_fn(pure)]` attribute to mark a plugin function with `&mut` parameter as _pure_ so constants can be passed to it. Without it, passing a constant value into the `&mut` parameter will now raise an error.
-* Comparisons between `FLOAT`/[`Decimal`](https://crates.io/crates/rust_decimal) and `INT` are now built in.

 * Error position in `eval` statements is now wrapped in an `EvalAltResult::ErrorInFunctionCall`.
 * `Position` now implements `Add` and `AddAssign`.
 * `Scope` now implements `IntoIterator`.
+* Strings now have the `-`/`-=` operators and the `remove` method to delete a sub-string/character.
 * Strings now have the `split_rev` method and variations of `split` with maximum number of segments.
 * Arrays now have the `split` method.
+* Comparisons between `FLOAT`/[`Decimal`](https://crates.io/crates/rust_decimal) and `INT` are now built in.
